The Best Of Mark Levin - 5/30/26

It's all quiet in the underground bunker. Doys closed, locks, bolted. But the great one isn't just resting on his laurels. He's making sure your weekend is even better by giving you his best. This is the best of Mark Levin. You know, over the weekend and as I prepare for this program, and right before the program started, I'm watching the news. I listen to them. Certain people, and I quote to myself, God, there's a lot of stupid people in the media. Just stupid, not just ideological. There's plenty of that, too. But truly stupid people. Literally minutes before I come on the program, come to you. There's a report out of the Middle East about Israel hammering away on Lebanon, Hezbollah. and that Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing and pushing and pushing hard. So it creates him as the aggressor. No context whatsoever. None. What's been going on, ladies and gentlemen, is while Iran, the regime has been, quote-unquote, negotiating with us, the United States. Its proxy, Hezbollah. has been firing more missiles and launching more drones against northern Israel than any time since open warfare. They're destroying homes, they're killing people, and people are evacuating the northern part of Israel. And Hezbollah's plan... is to move the Israelis out of the northern part of Israel and then move them out of the central part of Israel. So the population of Israel is concentrated in a very small, tight area. That's the plan. Benjamin Netanyahu's taking a tremendous amount of heat back in Israel from the center-left and left-wing parties. That he's not fighting back, that he's Trump's lap dog, and that Trump won't let him fight, and on and on. You're not getting any of this context. I'm giving it to you. And yet the President of the United States and the administration has told the Israeli administration in the last 24, 36 hours, do whatever you have to do to defend yourself against Hezbollah. Because Israel was going to do it anyway. They have to protect their citizens. And so the IDF has moved back into Lebanon. Do they want to, of course not? These are citizen soldiers for the most part. But they've moved back ground forces, pushing them back. But we said, don't hit Beirut. And the Israelis say, but that's where their headquarters is. No, don't hit Beirut. So again, Israel is fighting with one arm tied behind its back. And so Benjamin Netanyahu's taking hell over this, but he's fighting back. And that's why Israel is fighting in Lebanon, because the Lebanese government and the Lebanese army are incapable of stopping Hezbollah. They don't have the manpower, and they don't have the will.

But Israel's not going to sit there and continue to let this happen any more than we in the United States would allow it to happen, would we, on our southern border or northern border? We certainly wouldn't listen to some country telling us what to do. I've come to the conclusion that we have a very weak ruling class when you watch the Democrats and listen to them, when you watch some of the Republicans and listen to them. The media is included in the ruling class, as I just mentioned, how they're pathetically stupid, and of course, the vast majority are left-wing. But the podcaster class, I've come to the conclusion. These are not all, of course, there's some very smart and good and smart podcasters, but they're the exception. There's a lot of really stupid people. You talk behind a microphone. A podcast is easy to set up. Easy. And the way you draw attention to yourself from the thousands, if not tens of thousands of people who are trying to be podcasters, is to be as obnoxious, as vile, as poisonous, as cancerous, as racist, as bigoted, as anti-Semitic, as anti-Christian, as humanly possible.

And hence you have Nick Fuentes, and hence you have Candace Owens, and hence you have Kelly, who will do anything and is anything. She's a chameleon. And hence you have Tucker Carlson going off again on demons and satanic beliefs. The guy is mentally ill. I really believe that. That's just my opinion. And they're not alone, though. There's all kinds of second-tier podcasters. Same thing. Just stupid. And if you look at their backgrounds, who's that guy, Benny? What is his name, Rich? Benny Johnson. Never heard of this guy before. He's been a grifter. He's got serious questions raised about plagiarism in the past and things of that sort. I don't even know the guy. I don't even know the guy. But he's not alone. There's a whole bunch like that. And you start digging into their backgrounds. You go, what kind of crackpots are these? That people are listening to them. And the truth is, people are not. Americans, I should say, are not. They're mostly foreigners. Or they're mostly very young people who have no perspective. Or they like the drama. They like the gossip. They like the F-bomb. They like things like that. And I'm going to predict you right now, this won't last. Because there's too many of them that sound the same way. Too many. And you notice the worst of the politicians or the worst of the podcasters feed on each other. They got this guy, Thomas Massie. Who is this guy? He was a gadfly. He was a backbencher. I had him on once or twice because he was good on the spending on the budget. Then he kind of flipped out. Now, every other sentence out of his mouth is about the Epstein class and the Israeli lobby. He didn't lose because of the Epstein class in the Israeli lobby. He lost because he's sabotaging his own party, sabotaging the president of the United States. You and I voted for the president of the United States. We voted for the majority of the Republican Party. And here you have this outlier, this rogue, who keeps sabotaging the agenda. It's that simple. It has nothing to do with Jews, nothing to do with Epstein. The guy says, I'm going to name everybody. We'll name them. Name them. One person online. She said, make sure you name them on the street, not when you're in Congress protected by the speech and debate clause. Just make sure you go outside and read their names. And read the names. He won't. He's a coward, I guarantee. But who's stopping him? Who's stopping bloated Steve Bannon from releasing his hours and hours of video with Epstein? How come none of the podcaster class points to that? When is Tucker Carlson going to release his texts with the enemy, the Iranian government? He was texting back and forth. He said so. He said so. When will he release them? Never. Never. No. And then I thought to myself.

It's one thing to have a substantive real disagreement, say, with the president on a major issue, or at least to voice differing views and, you know, spitball them, see how they work or don't work. It's quite another to trash him, try to sabotage him, and stab him in the back. I've talked about this for years now. For years. to try and ruin his presidency, to try and undermine his support base, is quite different, quite different than what Ted Cruz said over the weekend, what Lindsey Graham said over the weekend, what Mike Pompeo said over the weekend, or what I'm saying. I say it my way, they all say it their own way. And we don't say the same thing either. My position from day one has been no deals. Now, that's known to everybody, including the president, including millions of you, here, including on Fox, including everywhere. And I've given the reasons, I've written them, I've posted them, because this enemy is a terrorist regime. They've never honored any agreement. Their word is not their bond. And they have no intention honoring anything after Donald Trump leaves. They may not even honor it while Donald Trump's in office. And look what's going on right now. We've had to attack their ships that are planning mines while we're negotiating the removal of mines. Then we had to attack one of their launch locations because they were launching missiles against our planes. We call this a defensive action that we still have a ceasefire. So I said, okay, we need more defensive actions then, don't we?

And these negotiations apparently are very, very painful. I talked about sequencing that you've got to be very, very careful as I posted several days ago. They don't get anything up front. Certainly no money under any circumstances. None. Or they'll start rebuilding their war machine again. My problem with all this is they survive. This started out. with helping the Iranian people. Then we move to nuclear weapons and we move to uranium. Now they have thousands of ballistic missiles, so they have the capacity to make them quite quickly. And from a conventional point of view, those are devastating, devastating, and they will continue to use them. I also said my concern is that Hamas will remain armed. Nobody's disarming Hamas. I told you phase two of that deal wasn't going to work. Has it worked, Mr. Medusa? No. They're not being disarmed. In fact, they're getting stronger. I said the problem's going to be here that you're going to have Hamas survive, Hezbollah survived, the Iranian regime survive, and the Benjamin Netanyahu government fold. And some of the Benjamin Netanyahu haters out there will be thrilled with it. Why? Because they have left-wing guys running for Prime Minister. Except for Bennett, who will be left-wing one day, right-wing the next one day, you know, he'll do whatever needs it. He's sort of Megyn Kelly in pants. And that is a disaster for us. We need a strong ally there. But... We'll see how it ends. We'll declare victory, I'm sure. I'm glad it's this president, not some other president handling this. There's no question about it. He brought us to this point like no other president. We've talked about that over and over again. He brought us to this point. The question is, what do we do from here? And we need to have a healthy debate, we, the American people. But then you go online and you see... BJ. That's right, BJ, Benny Johnson, who I know nothing about other than what I just studied. I researched his background. He's a real sleazeball. And the war guys, they want war, they want war. You know, this is, and he's not alone, and it's a mind of a nobody, of a dummy. We want war? Who wants war? We want to end the war. We want to end forever wars. We want to end terrorists who've been attacking us for 47 years. These morons don't even understand or don't want to understand or playing to the peanut gallery with slogans. This is why they so easily move hard left. This is why they so easily move... towards neo-fascism and neo-Nazism. This is why they have so much in common with the Marxist Islamists and their ilk. Because their principles are negotiable. Even worse, their principles are dependent on who's paying the bills. We have Congresswoman Luna from Florida.

says we need to be transparent about podcasters and everything. Well, what's stopping her? If she's got, quote, unquote, the receipts, put it out. Who's paying what, whom? I'd love to know. Who's stopping her? Who's stopping anyone from Congress from revealing it? Certainly not me. I want to know who's funding whom. Let's get it out there. If you got texts with Iran, I want to see him. If you got video with Epstein, I want to see him. Let's do it. Get it out. But they won't put it out. Why not? Why won't they do it? Mark the Vin.

Making your weekend even better. This is the best of Mark Levin. Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner. Bernie Sanders is all in with this guy Graham Platner, even though he's a Nazi-turned-communist. But that's why, I suppose. Even though he's a sickening pervert, even though he said horrific thing about women, Democrat Party's about power. If you understand that, you understand everything. So Bernie Sanders is up there campaigning for him, which is why I've now endorsed Susan Collins for the first time of my life. Because that's the choice. That's the choice. And I'd rather have a fairly liberal Republican than a Nazi communist, Islamist, supporting pervert, okay? Who's trashed our cops, too. Let's do this. Cut seven, go. We're not going to get any of this with speeches alone or with any politician alone. No one is coming to save us. We need one thing. Something the man speaking after me has been fighting for for 60 years. We need a political revolution. Stop. Stop. What he means by that is a communist revolution, okay? The sort of thing you have going on right now in New York City. Right now. Go ahead. Thousands of people across Maine, millions across America acting together, creating a movement too powerful for money to buy. And we just talked about the money that their billionaire buddy in China has been using to set up all these front groups, right? They got more money than they know what to do with. Now... He is a gift for speaking the way Obama did. Have you noticed that, Rich? So people find that appealing, but they shouldn't. It's dangerous. Go ahead. Country working people, including Republicans, understand that the economy is rigged. The economy is not rigged. It's impossible to rig this economy, whatever that means. I hope you have my book on power. There's a whole chapter on language in how they do this. On the sloganeering, how they pick certain words. You've got what are called devil words and angel words. I didn't get into this in the book, but I'm getting into it right here on radio. So devil words, rigged, angel words, equality. And so this is how they do it. The economy is rigged. So anybody who feels they're not making what they should, maybe they're working a little too hard, everything is not coming to them more easily and so forth than so on. Yeah, it's rigged. Yeah, let's get the billionaires. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you destroy the economic system because you have nothing but ideologues in control of it. Like these two fools. Two fools. Go ahead.

campaign finance system is corrupt that in fact we need a political revolution we need a political revolution you know mr producer i'm not going to do it but sometimes i think i need to run for some kind of national office in order to draw in these guys to debate them because they won't show up right we've asked them i'm not going to but it's it's very frustrating to me cut eight go I just came back from Italy. I was in Italy last week. Italy is a lot poorer country than in America. And you know what? When you go to a hospital in Italy, you know what the bill is? Okay, wait, wait, whoa, wait. Did he go to a hospital in Italy? No. So what's he talking about? You go to a hospital in Italy at zero. Well, let me ask you folks a question. How many of the medicines that they give in Italy were invented in Italy? Almost none. How much of the medical technology was invented in Italy? Almost none. The vast majority of it's invented in the United States of America. The vast majority. But he's tearing us down, piece by piece by piece. You should have free health care. So how many doctors are you going to attract to the profession with free health care? How much are they going to make? What kind of hospitals will we have? Remember, we had public housing, we have public schools, what kind of shape are our public schools in? From the facilities to the actual teaching, lousy, the worst in the Western world, by the way. How about public housing? Well, we've been blowing up these public buildings because they didn't work, filled with crime. infested with rodents and insects and on and on and on. It's a totally different vision, but there's nobody there to counter Bernie Sanders. That's why Bernie Sanders won't come on radio. He won't come on TV. He won't do it. Go ahead. North of us here in Maine or in Vermont is Canada. You spend two months in the hospital in Canada. You know what the bill is? Yeah, and all of these countries, virtually every major country on Earth, provides health care, every man, woman, and child. And so do we. The fact, we provided to illegal aliens for free. Now, let me ask you a question. Step back. Let's think about health care for every man, woman, and child in the country. If it's free. How is it free?

Are your property taxes high enough for you? Those of you who pay income taxes, half of us, are they high enough for you? You realize you're already spending a big percentage of your life working for the government to pay taxes, right? Local state and federal and county. Sales taxes. So what exactly is it? He wants free health care. What are the doctors going to get paid? Do you know the government basically now controls over 50% of health care through Medicare and Medicaid, child health care? Did you know that? Do you know the government decides how many doctors there should be each year? Do you know the government decides how many medical students there should be each year? Did you know that? How's that working out? Doesn't seem to be enough, does there? Go ahead. Right. It's a human right. Stop right there. That's enough for him. So health care is a human right. What does that mean? Well, market means we all have a human right to be covered. Okay, great. What does that mean? What does that mean? We all have a human right to health care. To every single drug that's invented? Well, how are you going to invent drugs? If you don't have profits, if you don't make money, should the government control those two? I mean, ladies and gentlemen, we have North Korea to look at. We have China to look at that steals everything they have from us. We have Cuba to look at, and Nicaragua to look at, and Venezuela to look at. We have communist regime after communist regime. We also have socialist healthcare medicine. It's been gone on in Britain since the end of World War II. It's a disaster. People can't get the health care they need. People have no saying the doctors that they see. They can't get the medicines they want unless they're approved. I don't mean approve for use. I mean approve for actual application to the patients. Mark Levin.

You're listening to the best of Mark Levin. We've got to jump into the DNA pool. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. We're going to talk about what the president said in Iran. We're going to talk about many other things. But I want to congratulate the terror lobby. You know, they always talk about the Israel lobby. Let's talk about the terror lobby. Let's talk about the terror lobby. The Arabs and the Islamists. They're very active. And they're electing people to Congress in the Democrat Party. Not one in the Republican Party, let me mind you. Not one. Not one. But the Democrat Party is flooded with them. With Marxists, Islamists, Marxists, and Islamists. Oh, yeah. This Democrat from Maryland, his name is Chris Van Hollen. He is a translucent American, a.k.a. He's whiter than white. He's almost like, you know, a see-through. He's a translucent American. And he's the greatest friend the Islamists have in Congress. He, Bernie Sanders, the Red Stalinist.

Hamasian, in my opinion, and so forth and so on. But this guy in Maryland, Chris Van Hollen, praised by care, utterly trashing the state of Israel constantly, never says a negative word about the Islamists, Qatar, nothing. comes to the defense of Iran. Yeah, that's what the Democrat Party, and this guy in particular does, when they attack Trump, our commander-in-chief, trying to defeat the regime in Iran. Not even nuclear missiles get in his way. That's this big op-ed in the New York Slimes. It's time to break with Israel. It's time to defund Israel. It's time to do this with Israel. Do that with Israel. Two-state solution. What a jackass. And the Democrats are goose-stepping right behind him in the Senate because they want him to be the next majority leader. Once Chuck Schumer leaves, Chuck Schumer won't leave until he has to leave. Chris Van Hollen. Chris Van Hollen is his name. Most of you never heard of him for good reason. But he might as well walk on the Senate floor with one of those. Palestinian... What do they call them, Mr. Produce? Those scarfs. Kifa! That's it. You'd be very good on one of these game shows. Kifa! Not a Kipa! Kifah! He's really into it, this guy. Just a horrendous op-ed. And then they come out of the woodwork, these Democrats, like cockroaches. I agree with Chris. Oh, Chris wrote a great piece. Oh, Chris, Chris, you're just so great as they goose up behind him. That's right, I said it. The Democrat Party. Party of slavery, the Party of Islamism, never the Party of Americanism, never ever. Never. Never. Party of Zohran Mamdani and Taliban and Taliban and Omar. And Hamaway. Who? Adam Humaway. H-A-M-A-W-Y. He's a plastic surgeon. He served in the military. Ours. He's a good guy. Just because he traveled with the blind chic, just because he was an interpreter with the blind sheik. Just because he worked with the Benevolence International Foundation later shuttered as an al-kind of front group, that's the new news today. He's a good guy. And here's the piece in the Jewish insider. Adam Hamoazi, this guy is in line to be the Democrat, representative, a Democrat representative from New Jersey. Now, when I was growing up in Philadelphia, New Jersey was a very ethnic state, mostly Italians and Irish, I'm being honest. And then you had a number of Hispanics coming in, particularly in South Jersey, because very agriculture-oriented. And now all of a sudden, you got these heavy-duty pockets of Islamists. Patterson, New Jersey, claims to be...

The Palestinian city in the United States. They fly the Palestinian flag. They're naming streets after Palestinians. Oh, they're having a good old time. Dearborn Michigan. Oh, yeah. Popping up city and cities in Texas. Starting to pop up in cities in Florida. Ooh. I bet you have a governor there is trying to do something about it, and same in Texas. But in these Democrat states, they embrace them because they view them as Democrat votes. Who cares? Who cares if they want to devour our society? Who cares if they live in segregated communities? Who cares if Sharia law is their law? Who cares? They're going to vote Democrat. In fact, we're going to have a number of them run for Democrat positions as our candidates. Power, baby. That's all that matters. Adam Hamways. H-A-M-A-W-Y-S. Have you heard anybody talk about this today? No, nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Hamway's past relationship with terrorist mastermind, Sheikh Omar Abd al-Rachman, has loomed over his rapid rise in the race to succeed retiring Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman. The relationship spanned in 1991 road trip. The two took together to Detroit. Hamway's service as the sheikh's translator for a press conference, which Abdah Rahman, the Blind Sheik, denied any role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and Hamway's testimony on the Sheik's behalf at his 1995 trial. Hello! Hello! Any Americans left in this district? Hello! where the Islamist leader was convicted of plotting to carry out a campaign of terrorist attacks in New York City. But just one year before, Hamway took the witness stand to describe his travels with Abd al-Arachban, and now congressional candidate made a different journey with another party entangled in terrorist conspiracies to Bosnia. Ooh. What a place to vacation. Have you ever been to Bosnia, Mr. Producer? Well, you might not come back. To Bosnia, with a group subsequently shut down for providing, quote, logistical support, unquote, to al-Qaeda. Oh, let me get this straight. Let me get this straight. He took a journey, a journey, to Bosnia, with a group subsequently shut down for providing logistical support to al-Qaeda.

I'm sure Bernie Sanders will support him. I'm sure Chris Van Hollen will support him. I'm sure Hakeem Jeffries will support him. In a 1996 interview with the Newark Star Ledger, according to a copy, Jewish insider recovered through an archive of print publications, Hamway described volunteering in Bosnia during the summer of 1994 with a Chicago-based nonprofit called the Benevolence International Foundation. Remember, Bernie Sanders was literally with a Stalinist Hebutz in Israel when he was a young man. Stalinist. This guys, with an al-Qaeda-related organization, ah, the Democrats are great, aren't they? But it's A-PAC we have to worry about. Yeah, A-PAC! And the power of the Jews! I worked in Sarajevo for 10 days, and then the rest in Zeneca, a large regional center in central Bosnia, Hamway, who had just graduated from medical school, told the paper about the five weeks he spent with the organization. How many of you spent five weeks with an al-Qaeda-related organization? Raise your hand. How many of you spent five minutes with an al-Qaeda-related organization? Raise your hand. Quote, we went out to hospitals around the area and in the mountains to check what supplies they needed, and we tried to deliver them. This guy just happens to show up. The other day, I read you the article where he was a translator again for the blind sheik, a terrorist, who almost blew up the World Trade Center the first time. I was just there. And in Turba, how do you know? I used with this al-Qaeda-related organ. Five days. Yeah, pal. We're on to you, you jerk.

Sarajevo and Zeneca were the exact cities where the benevolence international maintained its office, this group tied to al-Qaeda. Officers that Bosnian authorities raided in 2002, part of a joint effort with U.S. authorities, to dismantle the group, which they had identified as a front for al-Qaeda. It was only five days. Five days. Five days. And yet he's the Democrat. running for this position in this congressional district. The 9-11 commission report would later identify the foundations based in the Bosnia capital as part of the, quote, impressive array of offices that covertly provided financial and other support for terrorist activists, unquote, that Osama bin Laden established in the early 1990s. Hamway, who escorted endorsements from Bernie Sanders. What a piece of crap that old commie is. Representatives Ro Khanna. There you go. Illiar Omar, Alexandria Casa Castro, and al-Hida Talib. There you are. This is the, you know, they have like the progressive, what do they call them, different elements within the Democrat, Republican parties. The Black Caucus, the Progressive Caucus. This is the Terror Supporting Caucus right here. Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Taliban, and the rest. This is the Terror Supporting Caucus right here. They endorsed this guy. They didn't respond to repeated questions about his relationship, but the Benevolence International and his contacts and activities in Bosnia. The plastic surgeon has emerged as a frontrunner in the congressional race despite his relationship with the blind sheik, receiving significant coverage in recent weeks, a 1995 court transcript shows how the then medical student, Hamaway, described meeting the Islamic leader in 1991, visiting him at his home, accompanying him on a 13-hour van trip to the conference in the trip. I was just, you know, I'm just being helpful. That's helpful. The courtroom, he and the sheek, greeted each other warmly, and Hamway denied a government informant's claim that Ablo Rahman had urged the assassination of then-President of Egypt. But no other publication has reported Hamway's connection to Benevolence International since the Star Ledger interview in 1996. Oh, yes, we're busy chasing Trump. We're busy chasing Trump and promoting Thomas Massie. You know, we don't have time. for people who've aligned themselves with terrorists and terrorist organizations. Plus, there's so many running in the Democrat Party. We don't want to, you know, upset the apple cart there. According to evidence, federal prosecutors proffering court and the affidavits of federal agents. The 2002 raids on the Bosnian offices recovered weapons, correspondence between the group's chief executive, Jabidabadu, and Ben Yadden for the 1980s and 90s, letters from other Al-Qaeda leaders on battles and financial transactions. A photo of bin Laden and Arnaud and R not together and organizational chart of al-Qaeda and go on and on and on.

Emission by retail, excuse me, details regarding training camps and Al-Qaeda operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Sudan. Oh, Pakistan, aren't they our moderator, Mr. Medusa? Ooh, yes, with Iran. According to Marco Attila Jorge, a political science professor and historian at the Sarajevo School of Science and Technology. The early 1990s saw a global mobilization of Muslims to aid their co-religionists in the Balkans. Facing a Serbian onslaught, the embattled Bosnian government accepted this support, even though the involvement of foreign Islamic militants would later cause frustration and embarrassment for authorities there. I want to go on. We'll take a little break. This is a Democrat candidate for the United States Congress and in New Jersey. New Jersey used to be known for tomatoes and peaches, you know, at the vegetable and fruit stands. That's the way I remember it. Great delis, great bagels, bagels. Now New Jersey's getting known for Islamists with ties to terrorists. Mark Levin.

makes your weekend even better. This is the best of Mark Levin. I'm reading a little bit of the history, this guy, Chris Van Hollen, the senator from Maryland, who has such a hate on for Israel and Jews, in such a love affair with Islamists and care and other such groups. He's 66. And basically he spent his entire life as a staffer in politics and then a politician. He worked on Capitol Hill for a senator. He became a delegate in the Maryland House. He became a state senator. In the Maryland Senate, he became a congressman, and he became a congressman in a district that was once held by a very liberal Republican, Connie Morella. But the Speaker of the House, because Maryland is so politically one-sided, decided he was sick of having this one-republican, this county Morella, so he added five heavy Democrat districts to already a Democrat... congressional district, which he was winning by the skin of her teeth on several occasions. So they added five heavy Democrat districts, mostly from African American districts in Prince George's County. And Chris Van Hollen ran against her in that district, and he won. So Chris Van Hollen became a gerrymandered congressman. That's how he got his seat. He's handed to him. And he served there 14 years. Then he decided he wanted to be a senator. And so he became a senator when Barbara Mikulski retired. He was born in Pakistan. It was raised by a father who was a foreign service officer and his mother. who worked at the CIA and the State Department, so that can go either way, radical left or conservative, but it's obviously radical left. You went to all these Kay Ivey League schools, got a law degree from Georgetown, immediately became a legislative assistant to a very liberal Republican, Matthias for a couple of years. Then he was an assistant on the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, legislative assistant to Maryland Governor William Donald Schaefer, actually a pretty good guy. But he did that for two years. Then he runs for the Maryland General Assembly, and he serves there for it looks like 12 years. First in the House of Delegates for four years, then in the State Senate. And then he runs for this House seat after it was gerrymandered for him that take out the Republican. That take out the Republican. Now he's a senator. As a senator, he's been one of the loudest voices for the Islamists, for the Palestinian Authority. He's been one of the loudest voices against the state of Israel. I'm looking at this, going back years.

Years. But of course, the liberal Democrat Jews in Maryland, they don't care. Where's the Democrat? Vote Democrat. Vote Democrat. Because that's their religion. Just being honest. Like in New York and New Jersey. Same damn thing. Same damn. We can only get rid of Benjamin Netanyahu and get a liberal prime minister. They sound just like the Democrats that they are. Just like it. So this guy Chris Van Hollen is a radical, an extreme radical on these issues. He was raised as a radical by his parents, just like Jamie Raskin. Jamie Raskin's father, Marcus Jamie Raskin, founded the Institute for Policy Studies, a communist organization in my view and many other people's view. There was on the wrong side of the Cold War that was constantly undermining people like... moderate Democrats and obviously Republicans and conservatives. And there he is in a position of prominence, pushed up by the Democrat Party. Then there's Bernie Sanders, who literally went to a Stalinist kibbutz early in his life in Israel. Not just a communist kibbutz, a Stalinist kibbutz. Even the other communist, oh, Bernie's in the Marxist. Excuse me, in the Stalinist Kibbutz. So there's three of the leaders of the Democrat Party right there. And you see these positions that we have as a result of them. As a result of them. Bad dude. Bad dude. And a radical in every other respect, too, by the way. He defeated in that House race, Connie Morella, even though they loaded it up with Democrats, 51.74%, the 47.52%. And since then, in the Senate races, and in the House, and once they, you know, you win that, you win it big. You win it big. Then he, in the U.S. Senate primary, he got 53% of the vote with another Democrat. Now he gets 60, 65% of the vote as a senator. As a senator. It's a dangerous man. And he wants to be the majority leader for the Senate, Democrats, one Chuck Schumer, you know. It leaves if he ever leaves. Who knows? So that's who's pushing this agenda. That's who's pushing this agenda. Yeah, these are bad people. And now they're loading up their candidates with Islamists and Marxists. They don't even hide it anymore. Who's Zohran Mamdani talking about stealing private property? Zohran Mamdani talking about stealing private property. Like a good Marxist. Not his private property in Uganda, mind you. No. His private property is not to be touched. Let's look at this. Zohran Mamdani's plan to squash private landlords will be nothing but a disaster, a New York Post editorial. Zohran Mamdani is right about the lack of decent affordable housing in this season, but he's worse than clueless about solutions. That's the takeaway from the housing plan he dropped.

Yesterday. He blames Gotham's housing woes on greedy landlords. So a solution so-called is to hand as much ownership as possible to government and community groups. Hello? Try to find a single New York City Housing Authority tenant who likes having government as their landlord and waiting months or years for, say, an elevator to get fixed. Because government runs things so well, especially in New York City, you know. Especially there. If Zohran Mamdani's plan is to build and reserve 400,000, quote-unquote, affordable homes, 400,000 over the next decade, at a whopping cost of $22 billion, and we know that'll increase to $50, $100 billion. Who knows? Money run by non-profit groups of the city itself. None of these nonprofit groups are usually communist-run groups, too, close to, you know, the mayor. Mayor clearly knows. that the NYCHA, the Housing Authority of New York City, is dysfunctional, but blames President Ronald Reagan for launching an era of funding cuts for public housing. Sorry, but Reagan shout out $1.1 billion for a day-to-day operation of public authorities in 1983. By 2023, Washington spent $5.1 billion, a five-fold spike far above inflation. Meanwhile, much of Zohran Mamdani's plan is more of a jobs program. He wants all construction work here to make combined wages and benefits of at least $40 an hour and to expand project labor agreements, effectively union-dictated terms for new developments. That sounds kind of costly, doesn't it, Rich? $400,000 properties, $40 an hour. So the city will get the fewest number of homes built for every dollar spent. He also vows to crack down a landlord violations, which is okay, except that the overwhelming number of serious violations are largely in rent-subsidized buildings where rental incomes barely cover the cost. You see, that's the problem. The landlords can't keep up with the taxes and the upkeep because the rent amounts are frozen, even if you're millionaires and you've been there. Indeed, thousands of such buildings now face foreclosure, thousands, with more and more landlords behind on their mortgages, and they're not allowed to increase the rent. Now, if that's not the stealing of private property, I don't know what is. The government tells you how much you can charge, and you can't even pay the taxes and the upkeep. Is that not? Certainly indirectly, the stealing of private property? No wonder people want to get the hell out of there. I'm just being honest. The mayor's rent freeze will make it even worse. And any new owner, private, public, nonprofit will face the same grim math. Unaffordability. Indeed, thousands of such buildings now face foreclosure. Thousands with more and more landlords behind on their mortgages. How does Zohran Mamdani expect them to make repairs? All this is simply an excuse for expropriation. Quote, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers, he says, and will work to transfer ownership to responsible stores. He's going to steal, they're going to make it impossible for landlords to pay their taxes and their upkeep, effectively, effectively confiscating the property.

And then giving it to community land trusts, nonprofits, even tenants themselves. Now, this is unconstitutional by every definition. Don't you love them when they say, you know, we believe in the Constitution of the United States? No, they don't. They're stealing private property from people. They're making it impossible for them to upkeep the property. to raise rent, making it impossible. And then they say, well, you're not upkeeping it, so we're taking it. Now, Zohran Mamdani's housing ideas, chief, so-called, Cia Weaver openly promotes imposing low rents and high taxes to squeeze the owners into foreclosure so the city can grab their properties. Well, there it is, America. There it is. And they want this for the whole country. They want it for the whole country. This is legalized theft, but after all, confiscating private property is the pillar of socialism and Marxism. Yet socialist theories, socialist theories. About improving people's lives always run afoul of reality, the private sector will always supply and manage housing far better than the government, let alone hapless or corrupt community groups. Crushing the private sector won't magically make the public sector any less hapless. Zohran Mamdani's plan steers the city into a deeper housing crisis, and the very tenets he says he'll help will suffer the most. The city is going to go into a deep depression. It will go broke. People will go broke. People who make money see that they're going to go broke. I bet the city is depopulating faster than we even know right now. A Democrat. A Marxist Islamist. A Bernie Sanders devotee. This is what you get. Keep talking about nationalizing health care. Can you imagine? They'll destroy our hospitals. To destroy our pharmaceutical companies. They'll destroy the medical profession. It will all collapse. These are ideologues. They're not rational. They're ideologues. They're imposing their ideology, even though it's failed everywhere. It doesn't matter. taking over the biggest city in the country, and they plan to take over other cities, and they tend to take over the Democrat Party. And they are fundamentally doing it right now, step by step. Mark Levin. We're giving you nothing but the best, the best of Mark Levin. I'm in a great movie. I don't know why. You ever get that way, Rich? Sometimes you're in a down mood, you're not sure why, sometimes you're anxious, you're not sure. I'm in a great mood. And yet, I'm very concerned. And I'll tell you what I'm concerned about America. I feel like we don't know what victory is anymore. Absolute victory.

You were a thousand reasons for why we can't achieve a victory, whatever the conflict is. A thousand reasons. And yet there was a time when you went to war, you had a battle. Victory was the objective. I don't mean a soft victory. I mean a real victory. And so there's a link to Axios, which is a left-wing website, and a guy by the name Barack Ravid, who is a radical left-winger. He used to write for Haaretz, which is as close to a communist media outlet as exists in the state of Israel. And he's another self-hating Jew, in my humble opinion. And somebody keeps leaking to him. About our diplomacy, about our decisions, about what the... I don't know. President's done interviews with him, too. His advisors are advising him poorly. Shouldn't interview with that nut job. Nonetheless, there it was, an axios. And it was picked up by other media outlets, of course. And what is it? Well, here's an example of what it is. It's a purported deal. initial deal, the Islam on Nazi regime in Tehran. In Tehran. Now, I only go by what's reported, and it's reported everywhere. If they're wrong, then somebody needs to come out and correct it, in my humble opinion. And what they're saying is, well, I'll quote it to you. I posted this several hours ago when it came out. I don't blame the president for taking a few days to think about this. That is, the initial deal with the Iranian regime his negotiators brought to him. I understand why the Iranian regime agreed to this, according to the reports, quote, in return for the commitments to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and for square nuclear weapons development. The U.S. would release frozen Iranian funds and open discussions about sanctions relief, as well as entered discussions on mechanisms to permit Iran to receive humanitarian aid and other needed goods. Quote unquote. That's from a senior official anonymously leaking to Axios, as well as other reports and news platforms picking it up and regurgitating it. So frozen funds, according to this, are immediately released. That's billions and billions of dollars. Sanctions relief are on the horizon, as is quote-unquote humanitarian aid to a regime that slaughters its own people. That's a huge infusion of billions of dollars into Iran, in addition to the regime returning to shipping oil, all of which will fund the... IRGC, and the rest of the police state. And you can be sure that's where most of the money will go. And no word about ballistic missiles, which is absolutely crucial. The Iranian regime wanted to complete the production of 8 to 10,000 ballistic missiles, which could overwhelm Israel, overwhelm the Arab states, overwhelm us. We simply do not have...

the kind of weapon we needed to knock all that out of the sky. And these ballistic missiles can destroy an entire city block. Now, that's a huge infusion of billions into Iran, in addition to the regime, returning to shipping oil, all of which will fund the RGC, as I said. And again, nothing about ballistic missiles. Nothing about the brutality against the people which started this. Not a word. There needs to be a lot more details to understand exactly what has been negotiated here to warn a massive infusion of funds back into the regime in exchange for talking another 60 days. They won't pursue nukes in the meantime. I thought we were going to hit them militarily if they did. And they'll reopen the straight. So the regime closing it was leveraged by them to get us to negotiate with them. We're removing economic and military pressure with only the threat that either or both could resume. Why not force concessions before lifting economic pressure? If they wouldn't agree to that, then how serious is the regime about making substantive and lasting concessions at all?

The article says the president's taking a few days to think about it. I don't blame him if this report is accurate. He should. And what about enforcement, given the nature and history of this terror regime? Whatever the final terms may be, it'll be impossible, certainly after Trump leaves the presidency. I've been saying that now for weeks. I notice other writers and so forth have been... plagiarizing, but that's okay. This is important enough. I like them to plagiarize. Yes, I do. Over at the Gatesstone Institute, one of my favorites of all, Khalid Abu Tamir, a man of Arab descent. Since there can be no good deal with the jihadist regime that openly sponsors terrorism across the Middle East, brutalizes its own people, cause for the destruction of Israel, continues to chant death to America. Tehran sees diplomacy as a tactical weapon. A means to buy time, get intrusive foreign governments off their back, weaken international opposition. divide Western allies in secure economic relief, all while continuing its long-term strategy objectives as fast as the circumstances after President Trump's term in office will allow. I'm very curious what you think. So we're going to open the phones again. Again, I don't do it often, although in the last few weeks I have. I'm opening the phones again. I want to know what you folks think about this. 877-381-381.

Even if any new agreement does not contain sunset clauses allowing the Iranian regime eventually to resume advanced uranium enrichment activities legally, after restrictions expire, the Iranian regime will view any deal as a green light, quietly to continue rebuilding its nuclear weapon program. Such provisions do not eliminate the nuclear threat. They postpone them. Already Iran is reportedly... restarted much of its ballistic missile production that could restore significant portions of its offensive drone capabilities within months. Folks, you need to understand this ballistic threat. It's their most powerful conventional weapon. And if they unleash a thousand, two thousand, five thousand at a time, it will destroy any country in the Middle East. Significantly, the response from the Arab and Muslim world to Trump's latest demand to join the Abraham Accords has been largely unenthusiastic. It shows you what they are and where they stand. Saudi Arabia and Qatar have shown no public eagerness to comply. Pakistan flatly rejected the idea, of course. This silence and rejection underscore a larger reality, meaning meaningful peace. And agreements cannot be manufactured for public relations purposes or used to obscure strategic failures elsewhere. Whereas many of the supposedly neutral Middle Eastern countries facilitating the deal, quote unquote, Pakistan, Turkey, which is a disaster, Saudi Arabian Qatar, and well-worn records of not being even slightly neutral. Not even slightly neutral. We know that. Expanding peace agreements between Israel and Arab and Muslim countries is unquestionably a positive good. Peace and normalization are in the interest of Arabs and Muslims, no less than Israelis. The Arab Accords demonstrated that cooperation with Israel promotes regional stability, security, economic growth, technological advancement. Genuine peace, however, may not be able to be imposed through pressure or threats. Peace made at a gunpoint rarely lasts. And he goes on. Very concerned about what he's reading and hearing. Yeah. Then we have one of my favorite editorial sites, issues and insights, issues and insights. Mr. President, they write, give the Iranian regime nothing. President Trump is considering handing over billions to the terrorists of Tehran and leaving them in control the Strait of Hormuz, as some news dispatches have indicated, he will have committed a blunder. The only choice they should be offered is to give up everything or lose at all to the almighty forces of the United States and Israeli militaries. If not, the Iranian threat will never be eliminated, and only weakened for a time before returning to its demonic affairs, leaving a mess for someone else to clean up. Because Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have the courage to do what should have been done more than 45 years ago, the regime is staggering and no lifeline should be tossed its way. This is my view. No lifeline and no deal is going to be enforceable. And their ideology does not allow them. It does not even allow them to comply with any kind of a deal. A deal is just sort of a temporary obstacle.

which they will clearly overcome when the time comes. The president has no choice, they write, but to take a hard line as if the regime were the Nazis in 1945. The Allies then required Germany to surrender unconditionally, the entirety of its forces on land, sea, and the air, who at this date were under German control. Anything less would empower the depraved remnant in Tehran to start the cycle again. Then the trials must begin. I really like this. Just as the Nazis were held accountable for their crimes, the remaining so-called leaders of the regime must be brought to justice. For the terrorism they've wrought abroad and the offenses, including tens of thousands of murders, they've committed it home. The best that any could hope for should be house arrest for life. In a country, far from the Middle East, which they should prefer over the obliteration, they should be told they will receive if they don't submit. We're dealing with tyrants, butchers of humans who claim to absolute power justifies their evil acts. Extending mercy endangers hundreds of millions. I like this. I think it's important.
